BattleFrog ATLANTA - 2015 | Full Race VIDEO RECAP

BattleFrog Series Atlanta 2015 - Conyers, GA
BattleFrog Series Atlanta - 2015

I am really enjoying the BattleFrog Series events because they are very well-organized, the people and the staff are courteous and seem very passionate about what they do. On top of that, the obstacles are high quality, meaning that they have spent some considerable time on them, unlike other events where the obstacles seem unsafe, and just put up to make some quick money. The one thing that I really look for is how a company treats and manages their employees and volunteers. I don't think that there was one obstacle that I went through without a volunteer trying to push and motivate my team and myself. This is what people will remember, a lot more than the obstacles, people will remember how they were treated, and how much you care. I overheard one of the BF staff members talking to a couple volunteers, and this is what he said to them:

"You have to remember that these racers are being challenged, they are tired, and maybe on the verge of quitting. We cannot let that happen, we have to motivate them, push them past their comfort zones, and help them find out what they are about"

I really liked that, and I will always remember the BattleFrog Series in that way.

The BattleFrog Atlanta event was hosted at the Georgia International Horse Park in Conyers, GA. I was very familiar with this location as this is where I did one of my coldest races in my career, the Georgia Spartan Sprint. The layout for the BattleFrog was totally different which I really liked, but there seemed to be a lack of hills this time, but the back to back obstacles definitely made up for it. I really enjoy fast courses, and this event had some good trail runs.

If you haven't signed up for a BattleFrog Event, I encourage you to make a point to do so. They have courses for every fitness level including children and even a place for the extreme endurance athlete. I think there were a couple people who did 6 laps around the main course which totaled to about 32 to 34 miles, and that's with some extreme obstacles, pretty impressive if you ask me. My team "Team Dynasty OCR" did 3 laps and earned their BattleFrog Extreme Medal, it was amazing to be there and witness their struggles and their triumphs. That is what our team is all about anyways, it's not about just one person, it's about TEAM.

So anyways, I made a quick 5 minute video of the event, so feel free to watch and share so hopefully we can get more people off the couch and start getting active, because that's what we were all meant to do with our lives. We're all naturally primal, so get out there and be yourself, push your limits, see what you're made of, and most importantly, have fun!!!

Savage Race Florida - Spring 2015

Savage Race Florida - Spring 2015

I had a blast at the Savage Race which was held at the Little Everglades Ranch in Dade City, FL on March 28th and 29th, 2015. This was the very same property where I did my very first Tough Mudder, and hosted my first TEAM RUN with my team Team Dynasty OCR, so it was nice to come back. I ended up running 9+ miles filming the event, running the course, and hanging out with some amazing OCR (obstacle course racing) people.

Savage Race does a really great job with their course map, entertainment, and festival layout. They are well-organized, and the staff were very nice and accommodating. It was a 7 mile course with about 26 high-quailty obstacles. That's what I really like about SR, and what I have noticed about their events from the very beginning, they don't just put up rinky-dink obstacles, they are very well-built and well thought out. I would have to say that the Savage Race fits right into my TOP 3 Obstacle Course Race companies of all time. So if you haven't done a Savage Race, then what are you waiting for, you're going to love it!

The Story Behind Team Dynasty OCR

Team Dynasty OCR - Obstacle Course Racing Team - Beachbody OCR
Team Dynasty OCR for life!

Team Dynasty was founded in Tampa, FL in 2010. What started as a small Beachbody Coaching team of less than 5 people, has now grown rapidly to an amazing 35,000+ coaches in 2015, and growing more and more every single day. Team Dynasty (aka the Bombshell Dynasty) is part of a huge mission, which is to “Help End the Trend of Obesity” all over the world. Our family of coaches have many specialties and have helped hundreds of thousands of people change their own lives in only a few short years.

Then one day in the spring of 2011… a few members of the team decided to take it to the next level, and started taking the popular home fitness programs such as P90X, Shakeology, and Insanity to the real test. They were not only focused on looking good in front of the mirror, and feeling healthy on the inside, they wanted to test what they’ve trained so hard for. In a nutshell, they wanted to go PRIMAL and play outside, like our ancestors. This was the beginning and Team Dynasty OCR (Obstacle Course Race Team) was born.


Team Dynasty OCR was founded on the basis that we were all meant to be athletes, to not just look and feel good after finishing a workout or program, but to challenge ourselves, and to test our true overall fitness level with endurance specific sports such as Obstacle Course Racing (OCR). OCR is becoming the fastest-growing sport which invites all fitness levels from the couch potato to the extreme elite athlete.

Our mission is to continue to “Help End the Trend of Obesity” and also to introduce the world to the sport of Obstacle Course Racing. If we can make fitness fun, we know that more and more people will get involved. This is what Team Dynasty OCR is all about.

OCR World Championships - Qualified

I never considered myself as an athlete growing up. Although I was always very active in extreme sports like skateboarding and mountain biking, I never really competed in any major sporting events. Obstacle Course Racing is currently one of the fastest-growing extreme sports, and with powerhouse companies like Reebok and Inov8 behind it, the sport of OCR is on the verge of a huge explosion!

I was introduced to OCR (obstacle course racing) by my brother, and Diamond Beachbody Coach Fermin Banawa, he is also the guy that helped my start my fitness journey with P90X. I began my path to health and fitness back in September 2010, and never looked back. If it wasn't for my brother, my results from P90X and my nutrition overhaul with Shakeology, as well as with my Team Dynasty OCR family, I would not be here today competing with the best athletes in the world. I am very grateful for everything that I have been given, and I look forward to competing in both the Warrior Dash World Championships 2014 in Sacramento (area), California and the OCR World Championships 2014 in Ohio.
